The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 710: Auction Ceremony

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Countless people stood up furiously, banging on the table and looking to seek an explanation from the black yak, the old donkey, and Chu Feng.

“Lucky my ass! This is simply too excessive. Demon King Chu, Demon Ox King, you must give us an explanation!” A middle-aged man roared.

Chu Feng shot up from his seat and asked coldly, “Are you guys specifically asking me to give you an explanation!?”

“This...” The middle-aged man was speechless. He could neither advance nor retreat at this point. This young demon had done in over nine thousand famous evolvers. There was nothing he didn’t dare to do.

Now that the other party was challenging him, this looked like a dead-end situation. He immediately became afraid and shrunk back.

The old donkey came up to smooth things over and have Chu Feng sit down.

“Hee-haw, Hee-haw, I must say that we are the wronged ones.” The moment he came up, everyone became speechless. They had never seen someone so shameless as to take advantage of people the moment they stepped up.

The old donkey continued, “We are passionate and love to host guests. That was why we offered the best of rare delicacies. You people have to know that even major sects like the Deity Race, the Xilin clan, the Dameng Pure Land, and Spirit Race treat you to holy sons and daughters. Isn’t this enough to prove my point?”

It was fine before the old donkey started speaking. Now, everyone was angry and some people even began causing a ruckus.

“Donkey, you’re really terrible!” an old man cried out.

The donkey didn’t like this, however. “Old Goat, you were enjoying the food more than anyone else just now. Now you want to turn hostile after finishing the food? Where are your morals?”

“What did you just make me eat? Those are the ribs of our golden goat holy son! Boohoo... I’ve wronged our holy son!” That old man was on the verge of tears, trying his hardest to squeeze out a few drops.

The old donkey paid no more attention. “This is a buffet. Everyone chooses their own food while we offered the best that we have. I clearly saw you getting up repeatedly for the food!”

“I didn’t know that it was our holy son. You’re so shameless and hateful to have tricked me so!”

At this moment, the toad stood up and said with a sideways glance. “Are you blind? There are big words written beside each dish, clearly describing the contents. Oh these aliens are so uneducated that it’s kind of scary.”

Being glanced askance by a toad not only caused the old man to become angry, but many other people also became speechless. They cursed the toad in their hearts because most of them didn’t know how to read these words.

“Is this ancient divine language? We don’t recognize them,” Someone asked quietly.

“This is earth’s common language, alright? Work harder and learn more languages. You people are truly... lacking in education!” Ouyang Feng shook his head.

The group almost spat out blood. Who would recognize the earth’s modern language?It wasn’t an especially famous civilization or anything. In their hearts, earth was still a barbaric “wildland” that no one made mention of anymore.

Afterward, they discovered that they had gone entirely off topic after the arrival of the old donkey and Ouyang Feng.

Many people were dissatisfied and expressed their anger.

For this, the black yak stood out with a kind smile. He told everyone that it was a technical error and relabeled all of the food in the universal common language.

At the same time, the small group of dissatisfied people was given different food.

It was only a few people who were unlucky enough to have eaten their own race’s holy sons. The others were still surprised and curious because, after all, they wouldn’t get to eat such food even in some of the big ceremonies in the universe.

In truth, the things happening here were immediately transmitted back to the starry skies, and it caused a huge sensation.

Doubtlessly, the small number of involved races were filled with killing intent. Their sect masters were furious and wanted nothing more to kill Chu Feng immediately.

However, there were more people causing a ruckus on the Origin Beast Platform.

“Oh my, I’m so envious. Holy son cuisine, divine son ribs, saintess crab roe... one can boast for an entire life after eating them once.”

“What an extravagant waste, I want to join that kind of feast too!”

...

Then, the images from earth transmitted to space revealed the eight chefs. They were of such great origins that the entire group was stunned.

At this moment, the black yak led the group of female chefs to the scene, adding more food and greeting the guests.

“I’ll be damned, isn’t that the Holy Daughter Mu Xuan? She’s actually one of the chefs!”

“Oh my, who did I just see? It’s Fairly Su Fei! She’s working as a maid and helping people pour tea.”

Doubtlessly, the scene in the Eastern Sea caused many races in the starry sky to turn restless. They wanted nothing more than to go over and attend that banquet.

“Respectable ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the charity dinner auction. This old yak thanks you sincerely on behalf of Chu Feng and Mount Eternal. I would like to announce that all the proceeds from this auction will be donated to Mount Eternal, to support the rise of the evolvers there, not one cent less!”

Everyone wanted to throw rotten eggs at him but there was none to be found nearby.

Many evolvers cursed incessantly in their hearts. Wasn’t this an auction held by the bandits of Mount Eternal? They were here to sell the holy sons of various powers, yet they were making it out to be such a refined thing. Absolutely shameless!”

“Silence.” The old llama took the stage. He was clad in monastic robes and looked extremely solemn as he announced to the guests, “Let the auction begin!”

The group went dizzy in the head. Was the Buddhist Race also joining in?

“Hello, is the Buddhist Race’s Master Bajie here? It’s me, Old Wu, I’m at the Milky Way Galaxy. Mm, yes, I’m attending an auction on earth and I saw one of your Buddhist Race members supporting the Demon King Chu. It made me a bit dizzy. What? Buddhism leaves everything to fate? You don’t know the situation but everything is fate? Hello, Master Bajie, say something!”

Some of the people at the scene began contacting the Buddhist Race experts since they weren’t all that confident.

That was because the Buddhist Race was one of the top races in the universe, and they were outrageously powerful.

“Don’t contact anymore. You really think all baldheads belong to the Buddhist Race? Just look at that other man, he’s wearing sunglasses and has a cigar in his mouth. Also, he’s eating meat and drinking wine, definitely not what a member of the Buddhist Race would do.” Certain people shot glances at the Horse King.

“Amitabha Buddha, this Horse King has only three eyes, but I really am a believer of Buddhism!” The Horse King glared back.

The two men felt extremely unlucky after seeing the situation.

One had to say that the atmosphere here was fairly “warm”, or rather—chaotic. The toad with his skewed gaze, the pompous black yak, the four-horned Zhou Quan, the shiny baldhead Horse King—it was impossible to find peace and quiet with these unconventional monsters gathered together.

“Silence, now we shall present the first item for auction.” The Elder Ape of the Greatwood Temple was acting as the auctioneer. He spoke thunderously and used it to bang on stuff like a hammer.

People broke into a hubbub because the first to be auctioned was a beauty, one who could be considered a rare beauty.

“This is... the holy daughter of the Nine Life Cat Race. She’s been captured and reduced to such a state. This is truly astonishing!”

At this moment, many people were shaken because the Holy Daughter of the Nine Life Cat Race was one of the top experts among the younger generation.

Such a ranking was enough to look down upon countless young people, a character destined to become a saint in the future. She had actually been seized and suppressed here.

People actually didn’t know about it beforehand!

It could be said that the entire place became silent for a short while as the people were petrified.

Meanwhile, in the starry skies, those watching the livestream were shaken and tongue-tied.

The black yak saw the situation wasn’t quite right, and thought that the ambiance was too cold. That was because he didn’t quite know this holy daughter’s ranking. He shot a meaningful glance at the Manchurian Tiger, asking him for support.

“Everyone, you can walk by, but you shouldn’t miss this opportunity. Have you all seen this lady? This is a true expert of the Tiger Race! Look at her snow-white clothes, they’re so otherworldly and noble. Mm, those who don’t know might think she’s from the cat race, but actually she’s a white tiger.” [1]

The Manchurian Tiger spoke while sending spittle flying in all directions. He felt that this so-called cat race holy daughter couldn’t compare to the tiger race. So, he was trying his best to drive up the price with fake information.

The audience was speechless. They all felt that he had no idea about the market and was oblivious about how great the Nine Life Cat Race was. Many of the tiger races couldn’t even catch up to them!

The old donkey whispered, “Brother, get off the stage and stop trying to raise the price. I’ve seen the evaluation of the group of ‘grandsons’ on the Origin Beast Platform. They’re all cursing at you for pretending to be knowledgeable. This is the holy daughter of the Nine Life Cat Race, she’s definitely going to fetch a sky-high price!”

As expected, many people began bidding frantically after the Manchurian Tiger left the stage. In just a moment, the price of this lady had reached exorbitant amounts.

Afterward, those from her race took the scene and looked at everyone through the corner of their eyes. They also warned the bidders from the starry sky that they would be the ones to buy their holy daughter in the end.

The final price was five Sixth Path Reincarnation Pills and ten drops of Deity Elixir!

This price was indeed enough to make eyes pop out. This caught the attention of many people because it was simply too extravagant.

Chu Feng had sold so many holy sons in the past. Apart from the Deity Race’s divine son, the rest were only worth one Six Path Reincarnation Pill per dozen. Today, a single prisoner had fetched such a sky high price!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The Elder Ape of the Greatwood Temple, with his thunder-god lips, was extremely serious as he banged his club three times. “Sold!”

Everyone was speechless.

“Okay, the next treasure we’re auctioning off is a fine steed!” the black yak shouted out loud, in a bid to stir up the atmosphere.

Soon, a tall divine horse was led into their midst. It was fairly strong and its four hooves were shining brightly. A part of its coat was silvery-white and almost looked like it was made of satin.

Of course, the greater part of its fur was dark, for instance, its tail and mane were bald.

The black yak said, “I’m sorry, but my brother Chu Feng is a domain researcher, so he sometimes needs to use a spiritual pen to form domain runes. Most of the fur containing spiritual powers have been plucked out for my brother to make a divine pen. But rest assured, the creature’s body is still very sturdy and the fur will grow back soon.”

The people were stunned... poor holy son of the Heavenly Horse Race, known as the fastest runner among the younger generation.

He had actually been captured and reduced to such a state.

Old Donkey appeared and began introducing the item for sale with great fanfare, hoping to raise the prices. “Everyone, rest assured. I swear on my status that this mule runs extremely fast. It possesses divine speed!”

Mule? The people almost collapsed to the ground!

As for the Heavenly Horse Holy Son, he almost stood up to fight it out with the old donkey. Even his eyes had turned red.

Clang!

In the end, the old donkey was ambushed by the Heavenly Horse and suffered a kick. The old man cried out in pain as he fell off the stage. It was truly a miserable sight.

However, he was still quite professional. “I’ve incurred much ridicule. This mule has a bad temper, but don’t worry, as long as you can subdue him, I promise you’ll be riding a thunderbolt. This animal runs friggin fast.”

The black yak beckoned. “Old Donkey, come down. The Jun Tuo eggs on Origin Beast Platform are cursing at you for not recognizing the Heavenly Horse Race. Come back quickly and stop trying to raise the prices. This is... embarrassing.”

In the end, the Heavenly Horse Holy Son sold for an even higher price compared to the Nine Life Cat Holy Daughter. Many people favored his extreme speed.

He was the holy son of the Heavenly Horse Race, destined to be one of the fastest creatures in the entire universe!

“Outrageous, even a mule can fetch six Sixth Path Reincarnation Pills?” The old donkey was stunned.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The Elder Ape swung his club thrice and announced the deal done.

The black yak began introducing a third item for sale. “As they say, people with two legs are everywhere but it’s hard to find a toad with three legs. Today we have a golden toad with three legs, everyone please look!”

Afterward, the black yak, the old donkey, and the Manchurian Tiger saw Ouyang Feng walk over to the anime being auctioned.

They quickly stopped him, saying, “Brother Ouyang, please don’t try to inflate the prices.”
